Dr. Laura:
My husband and I have two daughters, ages 11 and 19. Our oldest daughter has moved away for college and we often miss her. I look at our 11 year old daughter and think "where is the time going?" I miss the days of reading them both bedtime stories and waiting for my husband to come home from work, when they'd greet Daddy at the door with little kisses and hugs. I loved brushing their hair and talking to them before bed as they wound down from the day.
We still tuck our 11 years old in at night, and she likes occasional back rubs too. When she asks for a back rub, I jump at the chance because I know the time will come when she, too, will be grown and out of the house. These are times we can never get back, so I appreciate every moment we spend together as a family.
Thank you, Dr. Laura, for the constant reminder to cherish our time with the kids.
